Sea Dog was the best BVI catamaran experience I’ve ever had. I’ve been on four other BVI catamaran trips in the past and while none of them have been a negative experience, the boat and crew were unbeatable.
Five star service and meals were consistent. The boat is very modern and does not have the septic smell that you can experience on some boats. It was also refreshed daily by the crew. Plenty of areas for everyone to hang out/hide.
Capitan Tom is an expert on sailing and was incredible with my two daughters, 13 and 11 yo. Nightly tubing adventures were standard as well as countless secret spots for snorkeling and exploring.
This trip exceeded every expectations so far that I booked the same trip again this summer for fear that the crew/boat may change up next season.

The boat was absolutely beautiful. The 45′ size seemed to be perfect for our needs: not so big that you could get lost, but big enough that everybody could find a spot away from each other if we wanted quiet time.
The crew was great. I cannot say more good things about Captains Courtney and Jim. Courtney’s cooking was fantastic (seriously, we’ve been talking about her mango shrimp salad with coconut lime dressing this entire week), and Jim’s drinks were sublime (and we’re picky!). They were incredibly accommodating and kind, and a ton of fun to be around considering we were stuck on a boat with them for a week.
The itinerary was great too! We went in with very little plans (a couple of preferences but nothing that we insisted on), and they did a great job letting us explore the islands while still getting plenty of time on the boat. While we had a couple of drinks or food items off the boat, we overwhelmingly decided that the food, drinks, and experience on the boat was amazing enough!
Overall, the fantastic trip we had and we will highly recommend Makin’ Memories to anybody who asks.

As you know, the crew can make or break this sort of thing. Sam is an exceptional human, a fantastic Captain, and passionate about what he does. Really enjoyed spending time with him. Lu is super fun, chill and gives the perfect “vibe”. She was there when we needed something, but not “in our face” – which can happen I imagine. Truly loved hanging with her. Might have been some signing and dancing along the way as well 🙂Boat was in perfect working order. Clean, comfortable. We got to sail a bunch, which was super cool. I can’t think of any issues or challenges at all. We spent time all over the BVI, so in my opinion the itinerary was perfect as well. Honestly, the right balance of “action” and “non-action”. Everyone had a blast.Food. I personally gained 7 pounds, and upon return home, when learning Lu didn’t make the trip back with us, was disappointed. I’d have to fend for myself (a good thing given the extra weight). Lu’s food was fresh, she accommodated (without pause) one of our picky crew AND made a special chocolate chip birthday cookie cake for Cella who turned 16 while on the trip. Again, she represented balance with options and fun twists (like the easter egg hunt and the birthday decorations).We have ZERO hesitation about Sam or Lu or Halcyon. They are AWESOME.Water Taxi was great as well – good folks (Tk and Harris, along with Nick of course). Shelby (road taxi) is a gem, loved her personality.
